In particular, we deepen into the following novel topics:</p><ul><li><p>Ion beam Analysis and Nuclear Techniques (Radioactive Ion (7Be) - gamma emitters) for the material recession rate determination and components of large facility.</p></li><li><p>Spectroscopic techniques (Spontaneous Emission (Visible and Ultraviolet), Laser Induced emission (LIF)) for the measurement of temperatures and concentrations of atomic and molecular gaseous species.</p></li><li><p>Diagnostic techniques for Thermal imaging (Dual Color), released by the emissivity materials knowledge.</p></li></ul><p style="text-align:justify;">For Laboratory testing uses two large equipments such as SCIROCCO and Ghibli plasma wind tunnels, where extreme conditions occurring in the re-entry phase of hypersonic flight are simulated. This lets validate the novel techniques methods and to develop the most advanced research systems.</p><p> </p><div><br></div> | |
